CURIOUSLY MIMETlC INSECTS.

How Maylayan Butterflies Hide Them
selves-Flies Which Resemble Wasps.
There is a certain butterfly in the islands of
the Malay archipelago Gts learned name, if
anybody wishes to be formally introduced, is
Kalima paralelia) which always rests among
dead or dry leaves, and has itself leaf like
wings, all spotted over at intervals with wee
speckles to initiate the tiny spots of fungi on
the foliage it resembles. The well known
stick and leaf insects from the same rich
neighborhood in like manner exactly mimic
the twigs and leaves of the forest among
which they lurk some of them look for all
the world like little bits of walking bamboo,
while others appear in all varieties of hue as
if opening buds and full blown leaves and
pieces of yellow foliage spriniled with the
tints and molds of decay had of a sudden
raised themselves erect upon six legs and be-
gun incontinently to perambulate the Malayan
woodlands like vegetable Frankensteins in all
their glory.
The larva of one such deceptive insect, OBJ
served in Nicaragua by sharp eyed Mr. Belt,
appeared at first sight like mere fragment
of the moss on which it rested, its body being
all prolonged into little thread like green fila
ments, precisely initiating the foliage around
it. Once more, there are common flies which
secure protection for themselves by growing
into the counterfeit presentment of wasps or
hornets, and so obtain immunity from the at
tacks of birds or animals. Many Of these
curious mimetic insects are banded with vel
low and black in the very image Of their
stinging originals, and have their tails sharp
ened, in terrorem, into a pretended sting, tx
give point and verisimilitude to the deceptive
resemblance.
More curious still, certain South American
butterflies Of q perfectly inoffensive ant
edible family mimic in every spot and line Of
color sundry other butterflies Of an utterly
unrelated and fundamentally dissimilar type
but of SO disagreeable a taste as never to b
eaten by birds or lizards. s.-Cornhill Magazine

The Sweetest Girl in School.

"She's the sweetest girl in school," en-
Enthusiastically exclaimed one young miss
to another, as they passed down the street
together. "Edith is so kind, and gentle,
and unselfsh, evsry one likes her. And
she has lovely golden hair and pretty
eyes. Isn't it a pity her complexion is
so bad; it spoils her looks; and then she
has such dreadful headaches ~ The girls
skipped along, but it happened Edith's
mother had heard what they said. 1t set
her to thinking. What could be done for
those headaches and the rough, muddy
complexion that was such trial to her
gentle daughter? She recalled what she
had read of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, and on the spur Of the
moment she slipped into drug store and
bought supply. Edith took it faith
fully, with the result that it cleared her
disordered blood, relieved the headaches,
made her skin soft, fair and rosy, and now
she is not only the sweetest girl in
school," but the most beautiful.

man from the crowd ran forward and with arms

FOR coon PURPOSES.

Mrs. M. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
well known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent in
teresting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with severe case of
prolapsus and liberation. She COM
menced taking the Compound, and in two
months was fully restored. In proof of
this she soon found herself in an interest
ing condition. Influenced by foolish
friends she attempted to evade the re-
sponsibIlities of maturity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in most alarming state and
suffered terribly. 1 gave her table
spoonful of the compound every hour for
eight hours until she fell asleep. She
awoke much relieved, and evidently bet

and in due season she became the mother

use of the medicine she believes her life
would have been lost"

THE ORIGIN OF GEOMETRY.
The Discovery of Its Principles Ascribed
to the Ancient Egyptians.

The Discovery of Its Principles Ascribed
to the Ancient Egyptians.
The origin of this science is ascribed to the
Egyptians, who, having their landmarks an
nually washed away by foundations, in efforts
to devise 6 plan for readily restoring them,
discovered the principles of geometry. From
them Thales, of Miletus, one of the "seven
wise men" of Greece, is said to have learned
the elements of the science. He introduced it
into Greece about 600 B. G. Pythagoras, half
q century later, having also learned the sci
ence of the Egyptians, enriched it by the
proposition which still bears his name to wit,
that the square described on the hypotheneuse
of right hngled triangle is equal to the sum
of the squares on the other two sides.
Plato, about 800 B. O., invented the study
of comic sections, and through these and the
use of the analytic method of demonstration
he made great advances in the science The
elements of geometry were compiled by
Euclid, $50 B. G. This author introduced
a device Of reasoning that has been found
very useful where neither direct proof (the
cynthetic method or the analytic method
could be readily used; it consists in proving
the truth of proposition by assuming it con-
trary as truth and showing that this implies
q logical absurdity. Apollonius was a
geometer who lived about 2S0 B. c., and
whose work in the science has not been sur
passed by the most brilliant achievements of
others since. Archimedes, contemporary
of Apolonius, first inscribed polyAons in
circles Hipparchus, in the second century
before Christ, and Ptolemy, in the second
century after Christ, applied mathematics to
astronomy.
From about $50 to 1000 A. D., during the
darkness of the Middle Ages, the science made
no advance and was little studied. Vieta,
who lived from 1910 to 1908, revived the
ancient geometry. The demonstrations Of
Kepler, Roberval and Pascal in the seven
teenth century greatly stimulated geometrical
| investigation. But TO Descartes who pub
| lished volume Of geometrical problems in
1887, the world owes chiefly the invention Of
analytic of modern geometry. Newton dis
covered the differential calculus In 1866. In
100 the first descriptive geometry was pub
lished in Paris by Professor Monge. chicago

And long and weary seemed the hours to wait;
When, suddenly, the snow clouds became
OF rosy hue, as though the angel lamps
Were hung behind them Then the glowing east
Became ailame with red and molten gold,
And it was morning!
The night was dark and mist hung DER the hills,
And long and weary seemed the hours to wait;
When, suddenly, a light was seen beyond,
Transcending moon and stars and brilliant sun;
And then earth faded out from mortal sight;
Deaths icy river had been safely crossed,
And it was morning

About Cleveland's Declination.
BUFFALO, April 25.-The Commercial-Adv
tiser to-day says
san important point bearing on the present
discussion as to whether President Cleveland
does or does not want to be renominated, reaches
us frem an entirely trustworthy source, and is as
follows: A prominent democratic politician, of
Rochester, who is also an intimate per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Cleveland and knew him
when he WAS plain Mr.. Cleveland, of Buffalo,
visited Washington recent to talk over the
Rochester postotfice appointment with the presi:
dent. The gentleman was one OF
the most enthusiastic boomers
for Cleveland in Western New York during his
campaign for governor and president. Mr.. Cleve-
land received him most cordially, and spent an
hour with him in general conversation after imme-
date business had been disposed of. They talked
over the times and variety of topics came up.
Finally the Rochetarian rose to withdraw, and
remarked to the president that he had not been in
Washington for twenty yeats, and did not care to
come again; "unless," he ad. led, 81 should come
down to see ou inaugnrsted for second term"
The president Immediately replied with great
emphasis AID apparent sincerity: MY dear colo
mel, if you wait for that event you will never
come.m
The Rochester man protested, but the president
putting his hand on his visitor, said: mo earthly
consideration could induce me to accept another
term when finish my present term OF Office, eX
pect to retire from public life"
The visitor says be left the presidents presence
fully impressed with Mr.. Clevelands sincerity and
seriousness in what he said. The conversation
was repeated to Buffalo friend, who happened to
be in Rochester one day last week.
